“Well, marriage seems to agree with you.”
“It really does,” Bette smiled happily.
“Tina and I wanted you to have this,” Bette handed Carolyn a gift from Hawaii.
“It’s beautiful,” Carolyn said as she looked at a very unusual picture frame. “But what’s it made out of?”
“It’s lava rock and I thought you could use it for one of your children’s’ photographs.”
Now it was time to get to work. She looked at the calendar that Carolyn had fixed for her and frowned slightly as she saw she had a busy day and a busy week.
“Do I need to schedule you so you have more free time?” Carolyn asked Bette.
“No. This is fine. I have lots to catch up on.”
Carolyn gave her a sheaf of phone messages and Bette began to flip through them.
“You also had phone messages from Alice. I’m sure she didn’t realize that I was going to be picking up the messages on your private line.”
Bette looked up at her curiously.
“They were rather graphic as to what she thought you and Tina should be doing that day. After I heard the opening of the first two messages, I stopped listening.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” apologized Bette, flushing. “And I’ll kill her.”
Carolyn chuckled, “No need. I’m used to Alice. If you killed her, I’d miss her.”
Several hours later
“Here are the proofs from the wedding and reception. Which ones do you like?”
Bette handed Carolyn various pictures of her and Tina in their beautiful white wedding outfits.
“I’m going to pick one out and have it enlarged for Tina.”
“Bette, you and Tina should probably pick your favorite photo together,” counseled Carolyn.
“Oh, OK.”
Later Bette did consult with Tina and they picked their favorite picture. But they also gave Carolyn a photograph, the one she had liked the best. She had it framed and it sat on her desk with a picture of her children.
Alphaville
Tina often had lunch with a group of her Alphaville friends and today they wanted to hear about her trip. They had questions about Hawaii that Tina answered casually.

Wonderful chapter, I’m looking forward to reading about Tina introducing Bette to co-workers. That would be great!
Great update. I hope to see another chapter soon.
Hi.well we could talk about Tina.Been with Bette a long time. I would be wearing a shirt saying I’m in love and Bette Porter is my partner and we are married. Maybe this is where S3 Is coming from.Afraid that People will look at her funny. This started when she begin to go with Bette. Afraid of herself. BASEBALL soon/ that is a safe thing to talk about. Thanks. LOML finally came home Tell you about it soon. thanks
tina hold your head up proud… i love this story… and if tina’s friends don’t like her when she comes out… fuck them… please continue
Why did I have the impression that Tina has come out already? It’s hard to imagine someone who chased a lesbian legend so hard is not ‘out and proud’. I think the basic issue is that Tina always thinks she love Bette as a person instead of a woman. She always labels herself as a str8 woman who’s in love with Bette. Well, but she should know. That’s why we call people lesbian. It’s just a definition, not a name of virus.
Always flabbergasted (when was the last time you heard somebody use that word?) when Alice says something sagacious. She may even be smart enough to not actually wear the coconut bra.
Half Truth Tina up to her tricks.. ; ) Good post.
p.s. R.I.P ~ Dennis Weaver ~ Where have all the cowboys gone.
thanks for the update..have missed you on here. post again soon, please.
Wow! Two years and she still hasn’t come out at work? That’s gotta spell trouble. I wonder how Bette feels…she’s so out and proud. Your writing is great, always leaves me something to think about! Thanks!
great chapter, as long as the angst is light I will be good. God knows there is enough stories on the site that just makes you cry all damn day! Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
good to see you are back pancha – you have been much missed. great chapter and i’m interested to see where this is heading
I’m with missyang on this one. I was totally blindsided by this which is embarrassing seeing as I’ve been able to see a lot of things under the surface. Yet I completely missed that Tina was still pretty closeted? In a way I can understand what she’s saying about pride. Personally, I have a hard time seeing myself running through the streets of my town dancing and singing, “I’m GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!” No, that won’t work in my town.
Isn’t Tina wearing a wedding ring, or did she leave it at home when she returned to work? Nice study in contrasts. I love your writing! Thanks!
WOW..great update. Tina is basically stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she continues to live the “straight” image at work, then she deprives sharing that part of herself with Bette. However, if she “outs” herself at work will she have the future she wants professionally. Tina needs to decide whether or not she wants to hide herself and Bette from those she works with, because I think Bette will get annoyed at being her secret. Bette is prideful and doesn’t like to hide who she is from anyone. Alice is right…hmmm, she can give some really good advice. Thanks for the update and please continue.
Wow 2 years and Tina not telling her co-worker that she with Bette. Alice is good!
All this time together and Tina did`nt said a word about Bette? i hope She introduce Bette as soon as posible for the goodness of their relationship. Nice chapter, post soon
wow, tina’s so totally closeted, she needs to come out, alice is rite, it will be harder with time moving on
Pancha,Great direction to take with this loving story. It is wonderful to see that Bette and Tina are loved within their own cocoon of happiness along with their close friends. However mow the outside world is impinging on them and Tina needs/wants the truth out there. Only the truth will set you free so go Tina be loud and be proud. If people turn against you because you are gay then they weren’t true friends to begin with. Others will be shocked but will still be there to support and guide you through life’s adventures. Tina needs to prove to herself and to Bette that she is comfortable in her own skin and being honest is the first step. I love this tender and gentle tale. This is due to your talent and flair. Thank you for continuing this splendid story, Your Loyal Fan.
Oh what a tangled web we weave….!!!Tina is only going to get deeper into this until Someone will get hurt,One lie will only lead to another….OH the possibilities,,oh the drama and oh i love where your going with this,Thanks.
Pancha, thanks for continuing to write this as well as your other stories. I’ve enjoyed them all and always look forward to a new post from you.
Hmmm, look out Tina. I for see Bette going ape shit in the not so distant future. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this fantastic chapter, Pancha. I just watched Sunday’s episode and I’m pretty sure that walking barefoot on molten lava would have been less painful. But hey, that’s just my opinion. Holla’ back!
First Church of the Revalation, you kill me. Great chap.
Tina really needs to get out of the closet….she is married god d… it
